You aren't rich, if a stolen car was a concern. Police forces were literally created to protect capital, and then back ported to supporting local communities.

Police forces were literally created to protect capital, and then back ported to supporting local communities. The parent poster is correct, police exist primarily to protect the interests of capital - that's literally their history.
- astrange 4y agoPolice in the US exist to protect themselves. They don't care if you're rich or the embodiment of capital or not. They won't do things that would put themselves at risk, and they won't get fired for not doing their jobs. Saying "thing A was originally B therefore A is secretly B now" doesn't seem to usually be true.
